Hello Antiplaque Whitening Toothpaste Coconut Oil + Tea Tree - No Artificial Sweeteners (3-Pack)

Tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) has scientifically documented antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Studies show it effectively reduces plaque, gingivitis, and bleeding gums. The compound terpinen-4-ol is responsible for most of its antimicrobial action, making it a powerful natural alternative to synthetic antibacterial agents like triclosan.

Coconut oil contains lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid with proven antimicrobial properties against Streptococcus mutans (the primary cavity-causing bacteria). It's the basis for oil pulling, an Ayurvedic practice shown to reduce plaque and improve gum health. In toothpaste, it provides a smooth texture and natural antibacterial support.

Absolutely. Tea tree oil's antibacterial properties specifically target the bacteria that cause bad breath (halitosis). The coconut oil also helps by reducing harmful bacteria in the mouth. Many users report noticeably fresher breath throughout the day compared to conventional toothpastes that simply mask odor temporarily.
